Don't Try This At Home

The team got a Halloween treat and a crash course demo on what not to attempt on your bike from Red Bull Moto Trials superstar Geoff Aaron. The 10-time US Trials champ (record holder!) sat atop a steel deck, swooped down a narrow ramp, flew across triple-wide, oversized Red Bull cans, and continued up an inverted V- shaped ramp, all while avoiding a trip to the ER. His Gas Gas Pro didn’t have a seat, but Aaron was too busy popping front wheelies, back wheelies, jumps, burnouts and one-footed stunts to even notice. Treats came next with true Southern staples – a lunch of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and pumpkin pie.
